To OP, 80 lbs seem to be getting be getting most people as far as 350- 370 wheel. I believe Darkmanx was running pretty close to his injector limit at 37x on the 80's.
Idk what pulley that is 2.9/2.8 possibly?

ha well there are a lot of people on here running it that I bet would completely disagree with you. I have been running it for a while now and have had no problems... also i would be willing to bet the people that are telling you this no nothing about e85
Does anyone know for sure?

he also had return style fuel system and was pushing 370ish whp. But he couldnt handle the power so he parted it and is trading a stock redline for a 4dr v8

Skatin boarding Has a high idc for some reason my Idc with e85 on stock pulley is right at 75-78% I am droping to a 2.8 pulley tomorrow when I get it and I will let you know what my idc are. We need eevryone who has run e85 and smaller pulleys and get there idc. That way we can have a average idc for x pulley. Then other people will know for a fact what pulley they can run and still be safe.

TBH mine were low 70s until I got a new belt then it put me into 80s with the stock pulley and e85. With the 3" pulley I was sitting at 95% and I do not know where I am sitting with the 2.85 because my stupid hdd crashed. I still command 11.7 at 7000 rpms with it, but dont know where my idc's are. I will find out tomorrow.

My idc's were above 125% with a 2.7 and e85 and 80lbers. A lot of it also has to do with how high you are revving the car to also. Idc's will change a lot between 6500 and 7200 rpms so a rev limit wouldn't be a bad idea.
I will have the TVS back on the car this weekend so I will let you guys know what the idc's are then.

Yeah I am putting on my 2.8 tomorrow and I will let you know. I only rev to 7 right now. So if I go to 6500 rpms before maxing out my idc I will be cool with that. Heck another 30 or so hp and only reving to 6500 is fine with me till I get my rsfs.

Roderick keep me informed about that rsfs for sure man =D. Hope everything turns out well for you, I know my idc's were seriously through the roof, I saw a 136% on the 2.7 reving past 7grand. I hope the 2.8 works well for you though and they aren't to high.
On a side note, how much timing are you guys running on the tvs? I know with e85 and even small pulleys we can run just about as much as we want to, are you guys just running 25 degrees or what?
